I think Hayabusa is the closest thing to a mascot than Lu Bu is and he's been in some Warriors games too. I feel in some ways, Hayabusa represents the best of Koei Tecmo.

Yeah, Hyabusa is probably the mascot of Koei-Tecmo but Lu Bu isn’t far behind him. The Warriors franchise have remained relevant for longer than Ninja Gaiden despite NG being made first. I think both Hyabusa and Lu Bu would make for great Koei reps for their own reasons.

I still maintain that Hero’s and Sephiroth’s trailers are tied to the two bad endings of WoL

Hero’s is tied to the bad ending where you defeat Galeem alone and Dharkon takes over everything. Dharkon doesn’t need to be defeated in this timeline, this is just to show one of the bad endings

Sephiroth’s is tied to the other bad ending where only Dharkon is defeated, Galeem vaporizes Dharkon to finish them off and then targets the other Smashers. What happens in this trailer is.. a bit of a divergence

therefore we need a final battle trailer where CP11 takes down BOTH Galeem and Dharkon and shows the true ending with the spirits flying back to their home worlds

I mean there ARE some characters that could be fitting to pull this off given their canonical power, or similar lore to the game he/she belongs to.
So yea, I can see it.

this

this is where shadow chads wins. Dharkon and Galeem prepare their attacks and all of a sudden time stops for a few seconds and then everything resumes. Both start falling and we see in the distance shadow hovering using his jet boots.

makes Sense as well since shadow’s game was about choosing between good and evil,

dharkon is stated to be the embodiment of chaos which is shadow’s whole thing as he’s made of chaos power and Galeem is an angel which one of shadow’s whole thing was that he was meant to bring hope to the people of earth and protect it which angels are known to do.

you know I’m only half joking. Only half

So... this website went down for a little bit due to a mistake that Google thought this site - (ahem) - "wasn't secure". Nobody's talking about that? OK, then. If nobody believes me, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME IN FLORIDA.

The site experienced a temporary lapse in certificate renewal.

Dude! That trailer though....when she sees the carvings my stomach dropped and I just melted into a pool of OMG!!!x10^infinity

.......ok I can breathe now. Can't. Wait. To. PLAY.

We may or may not be seeing the final presentation sooner than expected

hint: we probably won’t, but the fact the 8/8/18 direct was privated for NA, EU, and just today JP, and DELETED for AU, is a bit too odd to be a coincidence
Click to expand...
Wait, why was that old direct yoinked? That doesn't make sense in any context... unless I'm missing something...

Going off of this, I was think it'd make more sense if the direct was announced earlier today.
But despite this, they COULD announce it tomorrow.

I couldn't find anything on what you said before, Rie, about how Nintendo announced on a Saturday that they'd reveal new characters (which ended up being Robin and Lucina for Sm4sh)

It feels like direct season anyhow... and I'm not sure how much difference next week or next month makes. It's already been over three years, after all. We can wait this last little bit, surely.

I still think we are looking to deep into the Direct thing, I don't know how a private old direct means we are getting a new one, I think it's just some dumb YouTube ****ery that Nintendo hasn't fixed yet.

OR I could be completely wrong.

I think you’re probably right. I’m not sure why it happened but I doubt it really means anything either.

I think the privatization of 8/8 is likely just some weird Youtube voodoo. I doubt we would get and smash news that would be on the same day, seeing as 8/8 this year is a Sunday. Combine that with Sakurai literally telling us we would have to wait for CP11 and I think we just need to take a step back and relax.

While we could in theory get a new direct, I would be hesitant for this month. Nintnedo tends to prefer doing a fall direct rather than one in August for their q4/next year stuff. Then again, I do think it is reasonable to say we might not even get a new character in September, so who knows.

People are first like "Sakurai said it'll take a while, it'll probably be December" and now a YouTube thing pops up just over a month since Kazuya's release and it's "we might be getting something".

It'll come when it'll come.
Click to expand...
Did anybody actually say it'll be December? That sounds comical. My gut was always saying September, maybe October, and while I'd be down to see it happen this month, I'm not holding my breath.

Is it still listed on the NA/EU site? If it is it’ll probably be hidden off the site soon

All I know is I picked a good time to check back in... I figured I'd pop in, ask what was up and return to hibernation...
Even if nothing comes of it, 'tis quite spicy indeed...
